Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

Flight simming. Started out with a cheap joystick. Now I have an expensive one, throttle quadrants, rudder pedals, a vr headset and I've built myself a button box and a flight seat. And I'm now I want a helicopter collective. Oh well..

lol at some point is is cheaper to take flying lessons?

[-] foo@withachanceof.com 23 points 1 year ago

At $250+/hr for flight lessons, no.

On the contrary, it's probably cheaper to build your own sim today than waste xx flying lessons on procedures you can learn in a sim.
